Well, the miscarriage may be on the way, but I'm not entirely sure. (**Warning, this is a TMI post!**)
I awoke at 6am this morning with an extreme urge to go to the washroom. I think I awoke to some sort of uterine contraction. I have never had that feeling before but it felt like my insides were being wrung out. I could hardly stand, or sit... I just felt hugely uncomfortable. It felt like I had to pee, but nothing happened. After a few minutes, a HUGE wave of nauseau washed over me and I broke into a cold sweat. Like my shirt got drenched! Finally I was able to go to the washroom and emptied everything. There was no bleeding. It was just like the contraction expelled everything else surrounding my uterus. After a while, I was able to lie down again and things seemed to calm down. I even caught a little bit more sleep.
When it was time for me to get up for work, I felt alright. I felt a bit shaky and scared, but I managed to shower and get ready and everything was fine. I had an important meeting at work so I decided to go for the morning and then see how I'm doing. Well, it's 10:00am and I haven't had any bleeding/spotting yet. I don't really know what that episode this morning was all about. My abdomen feels really full/bloated, like I'm about to get my period. I think the bleeding will start soon but there are no other signs. I've had to pee a million times this morning, but that's about it.
Anyone else experienced anything like this? I just wish I knew when it was going to start, and what it would be like at the beginning. I know it's different for everybody, but this uncertainty is killing me.
(UPDATE: It's noon and I'm on lunch break and feel fine. Guess it was a false warning for now.)
Both of my natural miscarriages started with spotting, but I knew when I was going to pass the baby because I felt very much how you felt above (except I also had very painful uterine contractions).
ReplyDeleteThinking of you.
The first sign that I was miscarrying, outside of the spotting, was the pain. I remember putting my hand on my abdomen and being amazed at how much it hurt just to touch it.
